can a princess be a firefighter?

This book is great for young girls to read. It shows them that they could be anything they want to be. The illustrations are a big strange as they look they they were zoomed in too much on a computer and printed out that way, but the idea of the book is great. It takes you through different professions with two little girls. One girl wants to wear a crown and the she wants wear it while being something else. My daughter loved it and it has now become our new bedtime story.

coasters

I have been looking for coaster to match my black furniture and I have finally found the ones. These don't slip and they are HUGE so they can surely catch any condensation from a drink. I also appreciate that they come with a holder for the coasters since my kids seem to think they are toys. I can make sure they have their own place away from the kids. The ice ball maker is also really great as it allows you to use one ball which tend to melt slower than cubes and they don't usually water down your drink. I received this item at a discount in return for an honest review.

child safety locks

I actually purchased these in black for my living room before I purchased these. They work really well and they don't ruin your furniture. They are also easy to set up with tape (3M) which attaches to a hook which then catches the latch of the "lock" on the door or drawer. Even my 3 year old who pulls on the doors constantly can't shake these loose. Simply put the magnet near the lock and it releases allowing you to open the door. So easy to use.

baby wipes

I've used many brands of wipes before (I have three kids). I have to say that these are VERY close to pampers. They are gentle, cloth like, and get the job done without hurting the baby. They are scent free so the baby shouldn't break out in a rash from chemicals. My son gets diaper rashes quite often from a milk allergy and I can say that these wipes do not bother in him when he has one. In fact, he flinches less when using these than huggies brand. I really loved these and plan on purchasing more in the future. I received these wipes at a discount in return for an honest unbiased review.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B016OVKIY6

Baffle Bibs

I use a ton of this style bib and I absolutely love how soft these are. They have adjustable metal snaps that do not leave marks on clothing or around the baby's neck. They are made with a fleece like backing which makes this bib even more comfortable on a baby. My daughter doesn't try to pull this type of bib off where she does with all of the standard styles. It also helps cover high enough on her chest that when she drops food it doesn't go behind the bib. I love the patterns as well. They are cute and can go with just about any outfit.

vinyl sheets

I received these vinyl sheets at a discount in return for an honest review. They are a fantastic product to have for projects whether it be school or otherwise. My son used a sheet to make me a pencil holder. At first I was afraid it would start peeling loose, but they actually have a really strong bond. I used a few other colors to make signs for a sale I was having and accidentally let a letter fold onto itself. I couldn't get it apart. So you don't have to worry about the vinyl falling off of whatever project you create. They come in a variety of colors and you can use one sheet for many projects which is a huge money saver. I loved the products and would like to try them in different sizes. http://www.amazon.com/Adhesive-Vinyl-Sheets-PACK-Permanent/dp/B0125FQD6C/ie=UTF8?m=A2BHYNWMF1ZMRV&keywords=adhesive+vinyl+sheets

silicone baking sheet

I use these for everything and I love this brand. The silicone sheets help me from burning my cookies or really anything I bake in the oven. They are almost the exact size of my cookie sheet and they clean easily. I just used a sponge and wiped the residue off from baking, but you can put them in the dishwasher as well. They are safe to use in high temperatures (up to 500 degrees). I made french fries on them and they never burned or stuck to it.

one thing is, you will never run out of chalkboard labels! This is a huge bundle and the quality of the labels is fantastic. They have a texture to them that just seems high quality. The chalk marker didn't smear at all when I wrote which is where I have an issue with other chalk labels. They are still sticking even after several uses and washes from the sink (I have them on my sugar and flour containers). I bake a lot as well so for them to still be sticking... you know they will last. I received these at a discount in return for an honest review.

chalk labels

I can't explain how hard it is to find chalkboard labels like this near me. I was thrilled to finally find a set I liked on amazon. I wanted to use them to label all of my baking products and decided to also use them for my daughter's birthday party to label the food and drinks. This pack comes with 48! They stick well, didn't come off easily even after getting a little wet. The only thing I wish I thought about is the fact that you have to let the marker dry for a few minutes after writing on the label. I smeared mine the first time by not waiting. Over all this product is fantastic and they look really  nice on almost anything. I received this product at a discount in return for an honest review

Grill mats

I always wanted to try grill mats. I have the tendency to get our food stuck to the grill because I try to turn it too soon. With the grill mats, the food just glides right off, still gets me the grill marks on our food, and helps minimize the cleaning time for the grill. There are several different kinds of mats included in the box and all are dishwasher safe. I don't grill without a mat anymore. I received this product at a discount in return for an honest review.
